Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea...

ZING!!!

Sincerely,

Thanks for the assist. BTW, that was written in the '70s and even then Douglas Adams thought digital watches were cheesy. (To be fair though, I should admit that my wife wears a Nike digital sports watch of some sort.)
